So in a game, there is basically away to pick up/use items on the ground, to do this you must press and hold E for 3 seconds; Any tips for hold I could find the address to this?

Depending on how they handle input, you could look for some basics:
- GetAsyncKeyState
- GetKeyState
- GetKeyboardState
- Window Proc Hook (WM_CHAR, WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP, WM_KEYPRESS, etc.)
- DirectInput (GetDeviceState / GetDeviceData)

Look for how the key is being handled and reverse from there.

If you're using cheat engine, which I assume you are.... You need to find the address which contains the yes or no for the "item pickup ready state"...

There should be an address or addresses which contain a 0 or 1 value stating whether or not you have held down the mouse or key for x amount of time.

So, obviously, the first scan will be 0, you need to scan for 1 as soon as you are in the "ready position". Probably set a hotkey to scan immediately after the game confirms you have held down the mouse or key for x time.

I hope that makes sense.
